That is what "SG" stands for. It relates to a new process called "instantaneization" that improves the dispersion
of powdered tannins in cold water.
Tannins branded SG represent Vason's premium range as they are easily dissolved in cold water and yet preserve their organoleptic and technological characteristics.

TI PREMIUM® SGTI PREMIUM® SG: Characterized by high catechinic content, with a composition very
similar to the grapes’ one, obtained through a delicate extraction process of the best Oriental selections of green tea.
Leaves, once collected, are processed with steam and immediately dried so that they can keep unaltered the original
characteristics of catechins and polyphenols. The composition of this product stands out thanks to the presence of precious
elements which are very reactive to anthocyans and oxidasic enzymes (laccase and e polyphenols oxidase). |
